Enigmatic nodules on skin – a case report
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Among many skin coloured solitary or multiple nodules of the skin with minimal or no symptoms, cutaneous leiomyomas are unique in its clinical presentation, histopathological features and clinically confusing the dermatologists. Though very rare, few cases of segmental cutaneous leiomyomas have been reported in the medical literature. Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare benign tumors of the skin. Leiomyomas in other regions of the body are on records. Various modalities have been used to relieve pain in such lesions. This presentation highlights the importance of biopsy in all nodular skin lesions of the skin to identify and confirm the disease, plan for the correct treatment, answer questions from the affected patients and to teach dermatology post graduates. Histopathological features of other nodular skin lesions are compared.
